Rebel Bombers Continue Attacks On Madrid
Madrid, Dec. 2 - (UF) -Repb bombera bombed tons of bombs on Madrid today in two murderous raids.
Scores of mangled bodies littered the streets.
Hospitals were jammed with wounded.
The bombers appeared first shortly before noon, zooming low and dropping 30 incendiary bombs. Men, women and children ran screening toward shelter as thunderous explosions rocked the city.
At 3:45 the planes reappeared, their sleek silver coating glistening in the sun, and dropped 10 more bombs while militia men and Red Cross crews still dug among the victims for the victims of the first raid.
Raids Are Worse
The raids were the worst to which panic stricken Madridens had been subjected since the seige from land and sea was launched a month ago.
Throughout the day, as thousands dashed away from station stations cellars and other places of safety to peer at the skies, the thunder of artillery fire around Madrid continued.
Terror After Reports of Gas
It appeared to terrorize Madrid, but General Francisco Franco, the Rebel dictator, pounding at the capital gates,但付了 Loyalists preparations for a concentrated offensive and was reopening his siege with all the violence at his command.
Terror threat the raid
The terror during the raid which issued one of the ton bomb, appeared to have been well-aimed, was heightened by fast-spreading reports that France had resorted to the use of poison gas to the battle ground to the north of Madrid, where the insurgents are making their most determined drive against the capital.
Nine bombers, accompanied by 15 trim fighting planes, participated in the firstraid with the new university sector as its objective. Great training, with instruction followed by curls of smoke, attested to the ruinous success of the raiders

The call-girl at the Theta house who goes about in the early hours of the morning to play alarm clock was quite started yesterday morning to find the name of Don Dieter listed for 7:30. The sports parts known by his name got on the call sheet or whether the call-girl really awakened him. Several of the ladies on the campus, probably learn much from Dieter as to how to get into the Theta睡眠 porch without waking the lassies, in case Dieter really were there. That is why the man says it that no one can find the call sheet, but if Dieter could get to the second floor to write his name there he could probably return to swipe the sheet. Several people wonder if Don and Betty Cole didn't just change sleeping quarters, but no one at the Sigma fraternity would listen to a male. I surely like to get to the bottom of all this.
Santa Claus rode into town in a chariot drawn by several cute little ponies yesterday afternoon, and a huge crowd of people assembled to behold the sight. Among those present were our college folk but I think they must have gone to see the ponyes that couldn't all believe in Santa Claus. But then, who knows; one of the big librarians of the world stated a few days ago that he would come from college as literates. I think he meant if we were lucky.
The Chi O's have a new pussy. How it would get along with their mouse-hound is unknown as the two don't run around much together. One of the lashes confessed to her in her room, but it wasn't learned whether the girl in question was the animal trainer of that club or whether she ran one of the various shops operating in the same building. It seems there is a

Greek Houses Seek Injunctions
Tax Assessment Suit Brought by Sigma Chi And Chi Omega
Suits involving injunctions sought by two Hill fraternities against the Douglas county board of commissioners and S. S. Learned, former county treasurer, were heard in district court yesterday.
Alpha Xi chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity, and the local chapter of Chi Omega sorority based these cases. He then presented property and taxes in 1934. The two joined their cases, and yesterday presented evidence; whereupon the county obtained a demurrier which had been appointed by adjudication by Judge Hugh Means.
The two organizations based their claims of over assessment and taxation by the county on the fact that the county equalization board and the state equalization board had materially reduced the evaluations formerly assigned by the county board. Both organizations last year tendered payments to the county in lieu of the properties, only to have these payments refused by S. S. Learned, then county treasurer.
Seeking to restrain county officials from over assessing or collecting taxes on their properties on a basis exceeding these evaluations, both fraternities filed an injunction suit Jan. 12, 1955.
Yesterday David McCreath, Terry Gaskill, and W. Roy Martin, the three deputy county assessors who made the original assessments, testified that they based their evaluations on cubic foot construction minus depreciation of the properties.
Christmas Vespers Program Announced
Two performances of the Christmas Vespers with tableaux will be given Sunday, Dec. 13, it was announced by the School of Fine Arts office today.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3. 1936
The Vespers this year promise to be more elaborate than usual. Four tablesau are being planned by the departments of design and drawing for the direction of Mia Rosemary Kearney and Mr Raymond Eastwood.

Dr. Forrest Allen would put the Daily Kansan in the stock of public ridicule for its discussion of the University's football difficulties. Yesterday the Daily Kansan gave all possible assistance to Dr. Allen in that venture by giving his incrimination a double column front pigeon spread. The Daily Kansan feels no need for defending itself against an attack.
Three Cards in a New Deal
But the Daily Kansan reiterates its declaration that a thorough revision of football rules and administration must be effected.
It submits to the public this platform designed for the creation of a new deal in athletics.
1. Modification of the rules of the Big Six or withdraw from the Big Six, and the institution of a training table. Withdrawal might occasion a temporary difficulty in scheduling games, but would create no serious permanent difficulties. Training tables are not sanctioned by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, but, according to statement by high authority, this prohibition could easily and may probably be lifted.
2. Creation of a School of Athletics designed and with prescribed courses of study for students intending to make the pursuit of athletics either in coaching or in some other form their profession. In its organization the School of Athletics would include an administrator comparable to a dean, and a director of athletes who does no coaching, and head coaches for football and basketball.

That Edward will come to appreciate his "duty to the nation" and relinquish his companionship with the American woman who has become the most talked of person in the world.
The News Chronicle said:
The solos began drawing pictures of the chairman, displaying them to the amusement of all. Tit-tat-toe as one of the favorite diversions of the evening. At one end of the table, the chairman and privy council conferred, trying to make themselves heard above the general hubbub. At the other end, a group of grim-faced, determined solons called for the floor, the question, a beer, and finally gave up.
Solons Draw Pictures
The revels caused "Comments made by a number of provincial parishes Wednesday on the march of the Bishop of Bradford regarding the coronation ceremony revealed the fact that the most important constitutional issue has arisen between the King and his ministers.
This party, one of the largest social events of the University year, is an occasion to which the members and guests look forward and is the only affair of the club to which the men are invited.

"One of King Edward's circle of personal friends is Mrs. Ernest Simpson, a lady of American birth, who has been twice married. It is unclear whether he murry her in due course. The issue raised is whether this lady is a suitable person to be queen of England and whether this is a matter to be decided by the king himself or by someone else, the mouthpiece of public opinion."
At the end of a half hour a rumor was bruited to the effect that a motion was before the house. It was finally acertained that it concerned the election of a committee to investigate the possibilities of establishing a co-operative bookstore. At last! Here was something definite Something the solons could comprehend. The motion was amended to
Mrs. E. H. Lindley, president, and the members of her executive board will receive the guests.
The problem which has been the subject of most underground discussion for some time past can be simply stated.
Warming One's Heart's Cockles, or Who Made Away With the Quorum?
A hush fell on the meeting as the gavel brought the solons to order. The purpose of the meeting was an appeared on the earnest face of Mr. Galloway's bookstore—oh, much too abrasive a subject to command any interest.
Mrs. F. E. Koster and Mrs. A. J. Mix are in charge of the party, and they promise interesting features in the program which follows the reception. Refreshments and dancing will envelop the evening.
University Women's Club To Give Christmas Party
It would have warmed the cookies of your heart—you who are interested in seeing a co-operative bookstore established here—to see the fervor and enthusiasm with which the University solons attacked the problem Tuesday eve. The warm glow, emanating from the cookies, would have spread gradually until at last you were hot under the knees. There has been widespread enthusiasm among students concerned with this project. It appeared that sheer weight of approval would force action on the issue. A combined meeting of the W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. was called Tuesday for the specific purpose of considering the fate of the bookstore.
provide for the election of nine members of the committee. There was an amendment to amend the amendment. There was an amendment to amend the amendment to amend the amendment. Two hours later the soils and the ladies grew tired of practicing parliamentary procedure, and voted on the committee. It developed that some of the members who were in office had been complained and some members complained that their ballot had never been collected, but at last we have a committee.
Grave Question Arises
Grave Question Arises
Next a question of really grave portent came before the council.
The dance manager had managed a proposal that they would help the help out of stay out of the red by forgetting about their council passes and paying $1 as part of their admission.
The solos looked extremely sober and laid a collective hand on the collective pocket.
The W.S.G.A. agreed to pay $1 on the bids as their share. Then a case of hysterical brain burst from the chair, who for the evening was the president of the august M.S.C. The rest of the solons and the W.S.G.A. looked at him in amazement.
The chair then announced between gales of laughter that the MSC wouldn't consider the proposal because —no, prepare yourself, gentle reader —because they hadn't a quorum of gentlemen there had no action, therefore could not action on matters concerning the MSC alone.
Oh, we still have a committee to look into the bookstore proposition, but it would have warmed the cockles of your heart to see the intense interest evidences by the M.S.C., regarding our bookstore.

Nazi Youth Program Changes Education JANS NEWS
HANS WEISS
"Especially in the sphere of education has National Socialism affected a return to the laws of life in Germany," said Hans-Ursil Weiss. German exchange student, discussing the present educational system in Germany, at the meeting of the World Affairs commission yesterday.
"Educational systems of the past centuries have been alike in holding to one prevalent misconception, namely, that the intellect is the only medium whereby we may attain truth. Germany was especially stricken with this failure. Individualism and intellectualism were here raised to the position of national idols."
It is not surprising that German youth should finally revolt against this theory of teaching and the kino of school which resulted from it in his college years. He told the teacher to speak from his heart, he said, "and the spark which jumps from one person to another in the main thing in education. This is what the Hitler Youth groups, the stormtroops and the Labor Service corps have done in combat in comradeship and citizenship which no school can give.
"The question now is, will our school teachers become leaders of youth, or will our leaders of youth be the school teachers?" he concluded.
Gevene Landrith, 239, presided a the meeting. The meeting formerly scheduled for Dec. 16 will not be held
